It had been about 2 weeks since John overheard Grace and Krystels conversation, and all of what he heard had been festering. His mental health had gradually been deteriorating. He barely slept, and had been drinking and smoking more often. It was becoming rare to see him outside engaging in projects and so on, since the only reasons he left his house now was usually to smoke or buy more alcohol. He still completed the work that was needed since after all, he is still president. But he no longer seemed to be enjoying himself, he was just scared, pissed off and lonely. Many people began to notice his behaviour. Grace didn't though, because similarly it was also rare to see her around Fathetopia.

Grace had been spending more and more time at Cum City. She had began planning the assassination with Krystel, making sure she had every last detail figured out. She and Krys had begun writing up the plans, and had decided when they were going to put it into action. They had finally decided what day it will be when the president of Fathetopia would be assassinated.

John began putting on his suit. He finished tying his tie, and he put his arms through his blazer. All that paperwork, all those nights working had finally come to an end. Today he would be giving a speech, announcing that the death sentence will now officially be apart of the law, and that it can now be put into action if needed so.

He stepped outside of his house, and had one last cigarette before meeting James by the court house.

Ja: Evening boss man
J: Hello James
Ja: Is everything prepared?
J: Yeah should be
Ja: Will Grace be joining us?
J: I don't know. I haven't seen her in a while, but she does know about what's happening today
Ja: Maybe she'll turn up
J: heh, maybe... You did prepare the security team I asked for, right?
Ja: Of course, but I don't see why we will need it
J: It's just to be safe

John entered the court house and stepped up to where the microphone was. He tapped it, cleared his throat, and began his speech.

J: Citizens of Fathetopia, today I come to you to announce something of great importance. In my first speech to you all, I declared how I was going to reinstate the death sentence. Well, today I am here to tell you that it has now officially became apart of the law.
From this moment onwards, committing treason will now be worthy of execution. If anyone is ever needed to be executed, they will be taken to a guillotine in a certain location to be killed. I truly pray that this punishment will never be put into action, and that Fathetopia may remain a peaceful country. Thankyou for your time and-

Ja: BOSS MAN MOVE OUT THE WAY

But it was too late. A single bullet had pierced John in the chest, and knocked him to the ground. Blood splattered across the court house floors, and John began to cough up blood. James bolted over and demanded that he kept his eyes open and that he was going to be fine. But John wasn't focusing on what James was saying, because through the smashed window of the court house, he could see Grace in the distance. She was crouching on a roof, and in her right hand was a gun. As Johns sight began to blur, Grace soon dissappeared. He was going to die right after giving a speech about a death sentence. It was ironic.
John laughed to himself before closing his eyes for the last time.

John suddenly woke up in his bed, breathing heavily. Did Grace just... Did he just lose one of his lives? His heart was racing and he was panicked.
That can't of just happened... Please say it didn't happen, please
John looked around his room, only just noticing how dark it was. He looked at the clock that was beside him and it read 3:38 am. Am? But what just happened occured at 1pm. Had he been unconscious for 14 hours? Is that how long it took to respawn? He wouldn't have known since he's never actually died before. But to be sure, he got out if bed to look at the calendar hanging on his wall to see what day it was. It read SUNDAY 15TH AUGUST.
After reading the date, John collapsed to the floor. It was the 15th. The 15th of August. It wasn't the 20th.
With James, John decided that the day he announced that the death sentence to be official would be Friday the 20th August. But it was Sunday 15th.
It was a dream.
Johns breathing began to steady. He was so relieved that none of it was real. But he decided that he's had enough of all this shit. Yes it was a dream, but for all he knows, this could possibly happen in five days. The concept of Grace betraying him and killing him had messed him up. His anxiety was so bad that he hadn't slept for weeks, months even. He was barely making it through the days because the fear of being stabbed in the back by his friend had consumed his mind. All of this was what led him to be standing outside of Graces house. After struggling to open the locked front door, he eventually barged in and began searching through all of her belongings. He pulled open drawers, searched Graces desk but he couldn't find anything. But he was desperate to find something, he knew he would find something. That's when he pulled a pocket knife out of his inside pocket and began ripping open cushions and paintings. He eventually turned to the floorboards, and began pulling them up. It hurt his hands and they became splintered. But before the pain became unbearable, he found a coat that was hidden under one of the boards. It was the same trenchcoat that he saw Grace wear when she saw Krystel. He quickly pulled it out of the ground and began frantically checking all the pockets. It was when he checked one of the hidden pockets when he finally found something. John pulled out an envelope, with something written on the front of it. He wasn't able to translate it, but he knew that it was written in Enderman. The envelope was already opened, so he pulled out the paper inside of it. He opened up the paper and read what was written on it. What he saw filled him with so much dread and fear that he had to run outside to throw up. Every nighmare, every scared thought was completely true. Everything he had spent all this time fearing was true. Grace was truly planning to assassinate him. And he had the plans to prove it.
